Lana Del Rey wowed fans on Day 2 of Outside Lands, performing a roughly 75-minute set that visibly connected with the huge crowd gathered to watch the pop star headline the festival’s Twin Peaks stage on Aug. 12.Some fans appeared close to tears, so moved by the elegant and ethereal nature of the music as Del Rey moved through tracks from at least seven studio albums from her amazing catalog.The most dramatic parts of her set — and there were plenty to choose from — came when the crowd pretty much took over on lead vocals, passionately belting out a number like “Summertime Sadness” like it was the single most important song in the history of mankind.Well, the single most important until Del Rey sang the next number, of course. She showed a near-Taylor Swift-like connection to her fans during her winning set.Lana del Rey – did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd #OutsideLands pic.twitter.com/6zCdRMNjUw— MORE (@mrmorevlogs) August ...

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea came from behind to earn a 1-1 draw against Liverpool on Sunday in a Premier League opener that showed the Blues have already made progress under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.In the marquee matchup of the Premier League’s opening round, Luis Diaz put Liverpool ahead after a lightning counterattack in the 18th minute and defender Axel Disasi marked his Chelsea debut by scoring the equalizer from close range in the 37th.Both teams also had goals disallowed by VAR checks in an open and chance-filled first half that highlighted just why the two rivals are trying to spend more than 110 million pounds ($140 million) on bringing in defensive midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton.Caicedo has reportedly chosen to join Chelsea over Liverpool, which could prove a more important result than the draw as it was evident that both sides badly need a ball-winning midfielder of the Ecuadorian’s caliber. Chelsea already looked a different team under Pochettino, though, playi...

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Western-backed maritime forces in the Middle East warned shippers traveling through the strategic Strait of Hormuz to stay as far away from Iranian territorial waters as possible to avoid being seized, a stark advisory amid heightened tensions between Iran and the U.S.A similar warning went out to shippers earlier this year ahead of Iran seizing two tankers traveling near the strait, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which 20% of the world’s oil passes.While Iran and the U.S. now near an apparent deal that would see billions of Iranian assets held in South Korea unfrozen in exchange for the release of five Iranian-Americans detained in Tehran, the warning issued this weekend shows that the tensions remain high at sea.Already, the U.S. is exploring plans to put armed troops on commercial ships in the strait to deter Iran amid a buildup of troops, ships and aircraft in the region.U.S. Navy Cmdr.
